We are located less than 5 min. from Historic Occidental, with its' strategic access to wineries, breweries ,great restaurants, local cheese and bread makers, and an Arts Center featuring art and concerts. The Friday Farmers Market runs May thru October with produce, food, music, etc. Zipline tours are 5 min. from town one way, and Osmosis Enzyme Baths are 5 min. the other way. Sonoma Coast Beaches is a 20 min scenic drive away. Bodega Bay, closeby, offers great seafood, & boat charters.

The space has a living room, spacious bedroom and full bath with shower and deep soaking tub. Private entrance with covered deck and large separate area for guest parking. There's a lovely view to the east affording beautiful sun and moon rises. The property has fruit trees, redwoods, and many plant varieties on 5 private, rural acres near the end of a dead end road.

A truly peaceful and beautiful place to stay. Located about 5 minutes drive from the centre of Occidental, we encountered nothing but wonderful scenes driving into town each day and also spotted some great wildlife. An excellent base to explore Sonoma and Marin County, we were able to do some great day trips to places like Tomales Bay and Point Reyes in less than an hour's drive. Zan's place made for the perfect place to relax after a day or evening out exploring. We often felt torn over whether to go out for the day or just relax with a good book! Zan was a fantastic host from start to finish and you can tell how much time and effort she puts in to making sure all her guests have a wonderful stay. I would absolutely recommend staying here as not only is it a beautiful, clean and spacious place surrounded by nature, but it is also excellent value for money when compared with hotels etc in the area.

Laura2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful and relaxing home! Zan's place is exactly as described and is perfectly located just a couple minutes outside of Occidental. The house is clean, quiet, and comfortable. Could not have asked for a better place to stay.

Sean2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Zan was great, as was her beautiful home. It's quiet, at the end of a long winding road off the Bohemian Highway. The energy of the area and the rental is calm and peaceful. We were greeted by both Alexandra and her sweet little dogs who were happy to come in for a little "loaner dog love." Zan was a fabulous hostess and her attention to detail is a delight - cheese and crackers upon arrival, delicious apples from the tree out back in the morning. She was friendly and welcomed us, stopping in to answer any questions but kindly stepping out and giving us privacy. And she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to both Occidental and different wineries and varietals! A true delight.

Jorgiana2016-09-10T00:00:00Z

This was our second time in as many months that we stayed here. Very peaceful in the forest setting with great hospitality from Zan.

Becca2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

This was a wonderful stay. It is exactly as pictured. Beautiful place, clean and convenient. Near restaurants and market. We were comfortable and got well rested. Zan was very friendly and greeted us with smiles. All communication was clear, informative and quick in response. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone wishing to come to sweet Occidental.

Jessica2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

This attached apartment is a great little spot to take a getaway. The views were pretty, and we loved how secluded the house was. We came on a cooler, wetter weekend, and found the space heaters to do just fine. The place will be even better with the wood stove! Though no stove, we were able to store and heat up our food with the fridge and microwave. The town of Occidental is only a few miles down the road, and we were also in decent proximity to a few vineyards. Alexandra was very sweet and wrote out a little guide to the best spots to visit in the area, if that's your thing, and her advice helped guide our wine tasting day. Alexandra was very thoughtful, and gave us a classic b&b experience!

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Zan's place. The setting was beautiful! We enjoyed watching the deer and birds, feeding the horses down the road, and picking blackberries. Zan's place was super inviting, cozy, and spotless. Everything was great, from the comfy bed to the luxurious shower and tub to the kitchenette to the expansive views. She took care of every detail and was a wonderful host all around. I hope we will be able to return again next year!

Charming, light-filled redwood studio apartment in West Sonoma County, 90 minutes from San Francisco and East Bay. At the end of a quiet lane overlooking a pond and two-acre meadow. Perfect for a relaxing, writing or meditation retreat or couples/family getaway. Four people maximum. Fireplace, full open kitchen with stove with oven, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker; bath with shower. Wi-fi, phone, DVD. Includes a luxurious queen-size sofa, single futon chaise and sleeping loft ideal for kids. Five minutes to Osmosis Spa and Wildflower Bakery in Freestone, 10 minutes to Sebastopol and Occidental with their gourmet restaurants. An excellent base for exploring Sonoma's wine country, backroads bicycling, kayaking on the Russian River, hiking the Sonoma coast and visiting Sonoma beaches.
This apartment is beautifully appointed; you will have no trouble cooking full meals in the kitchen. There are lots of cosy spots to read (or use a laptop if you need to work). There is ample lighting and high-quality beds, and a library lining two walls. The apartment is not cell phone accessible, but there is a land line in the studio for emergency calls or for people calling in.
But what makes this place MOST special is that it was built from redwoods that had been growing on the land!
No pets. $145 per night with two-night minimum, $155/night for 4 guest, and $800 for one week. Check-in time: 4pm. Check-out time: 12noon.

The cabin was perfect! We stayed for a long holiday weekend. It's removed from the city, but still very close to what we know and love (downtown Sebastopol is very close, as well as Freestone, Occidental, Graton, Bodega, Guermeville, and the coast in general). The cabin is private and removed from the main house, and the hosts invite you to use the "yard" freely—there's a beautiful garden, pond and forest to explore. The space itself is cozy, but not small. It's spotless and very well appointed. We had no trouble cooking full meals in the kitchen. I really enjoyed the fact that it seems like it was designed to be a very comfortable place to read—there are a million spots to curl up with a book or laptop if you need to work (there's wifi too). I appreciated the beautiful details: nice woodwork, a library lining the walls, ample warm lighting, high quality bedding. We loved it and look forward to staying again when we get the chance!

Mollie2012-11-26T00:00:00Z

We loved this place! It was so magical and perfect for our little family of 3. It was immaculate and beautiful as shown in the photos. My 7 year old enjoyed Kayaking in the small pond and building fairy houses in the Redwoods. We enjoyed sipping tea by the fireplace and exploring the numerous books available to read. Thank you Mary Ann & Pam!

Amy2013-12-04T00:00:00Z

I stayed at this beautiful cabin with my husband and two kids, ages 6 and 5. The sleeping areas were very comfortable and the water pressure and temperature were excellent. The lagoon a few steps outside was fun for all. There were frogs, loads of tadpoles, dragonflies and tadpoles to observe from its banks and from the kayak made available. The surrounding redwood grove was magical. I highly recommend this cabin for individuals or small groups/families like ours.

Carmen2014-06-16T00:00:00Z

What to rave about first? The wonderful, gracious host, the brilliant guest house, the redwood encircled lily pond or the ancient forest stretching up to stars un dimmed by light pollution. So hard to leave! We can't wait to come back.

janet2014-07-26T00:00:00Z

This home was lovely. The house was quiet and beautifully put together. My girlfriend and I had everything we needed to make full meals in the kitchen. The towns and around the cabin are quiet and retreat like. It was only a short drive to the ocean as well! I loved the feminist and psychological library in the house. I would love to come back here another time! Thank you for a wonderful Solstice!

Jasper2015-12-23T00:00:00Z

Wow, what a great experience! Our stay at this awesome retreat was just what my mind, body and soul needed. Mary Ann was a pleasure to work with. She was very prompt and communicative. The property is just spectacular (in my hubby's words). There are flowers and trees everywhere, a porch swing, window boxes, a sweet pond and row boat where awesome frogs sing in the evening. And, it's far enough away from city lights to make it perfect for stargazing. The loft is fully equipped, (including wifi and all kitchen items you can think of) and very comfortable. The first night it was chilly, but the cozy quilt and fireplace kept us warm. Before we had even pulled out of the drive, my hubby asked me to book our next stay! Ok, twist my arm! PS: Oooh, by the way, if you are into a spa experience, treat yourself to an Osmosis Cedar Enzyme bath and massage in an outdoor pagoda. In a word, fabulous! It made the weekend all that much more relaxing! :)

Marianne2014-05-13T00:00:00Z

Mary Ann's sweet and comfortable retreat in the redwoods between Occidental and Sebastopol was the perfect spot for two days of sloughing off the vestiges of a professional conference in the city! My partner and I were made to feel at home from the second we opened the door at the top of the stairs, and the retreat had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We're already plotting a return and a longer stay. Oh, and the proximity to Wild Flour Bakery is a plus that can't be understated!

Bill2015-06-30T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing weekend at Mary Ann's redwood retreat. It was quiet, warm, and cozy and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Mary Ann and Pam are lovely hosts. We will definitely be back!

Come spend the night on a sustainably farmed goat ranch where I have been making nationally acclaimed goat cheese for 30 years. Enjoy stunning views, fabulous garden, variety of animals. Opt for discounted tour or cheese tasting or package including full breakfast (described in welcome letter).

Set in the historic and peacefully pastoral town of Bodega where Alfred Hitchcock filmed the birds, we are at the top of a hill in a cul-de-sac.
We are 10 minutes from the ocean at Bodega Bay.

It is the feel of a very old small Western town, with a town bar serving dinner every night of the week, a country store, a volunteer fire dept., and several charming galleries and antique stores. The dressmaker makes clothing custom fit to match your size and taste.

Serene, beautiful, cozy!! Perfect location for a day trip to the coast.

Jody2017-05-05T00:00:00Z

We loved staying with Patty. She is a warm host and very helpful. She also gave us some great inside tips for restaurants and things to do. The place is simple but the surroundings are beautiful!

Helmi2015-07-17T00:00:00Z

She's gracious, pleasant and very thoughtful. We really enjoyed the stay and think she's one of the best host ever :(

Mir2015-11-29T00:00:00Z

We had such a lovely stay at Patty's goat farm! We were looking for a nice place to spend our anniversary and came across this farm. Cozy bed, your own kitchen and bathroom. We got the chance to try our hand at milking some goats (very interesting) and Patty had so many good recommendations for food and such, so happy!

Molly2015-05-04T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Patty's farm. We were looking for a quiet, relaxing get-away outside of the city and that is exactly what we got. The farm was so peaceful and beautiful. Patty made us feel very welcome from the homemade goodies in the fridge (ricotta goat cheese and muffins), inviting us to watch the goat milking, and doing a goat cheese tasting in her home. The description was accurate - it is certainly a farm stay, so if that is what you're looking for - than this is the place for you!

Perfect little retreat! Not super modern or fancy, if that's what you're looking for - but sweet, charming, & on a great piece of property. Patty was very accommodating and communicative. Highly recommend!

Katie2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

The cabin was nice, comfortable and rustic. Be sure you get directions - we didn't and it was hard to find! It is a pretty location and it was great to see all the goats. We did have some cheese that was made there but it doesn't look like a really active operation any longer. Unfortunately, Patty was out of town when we were there - from reading the reviews she is part of the fun. If you want a rustic, farm off the beaten track this is a good choice. The bay is another 25 or so minutes farther up the road.

Just a 5-minute drive west of downtown Sebastopol the suite provides comfort and privacy with country views undisturbed by traffic, city noise and lights. The location is just outside of the Sebastopol city limit and a few minutes drive from Occidental and Bodega Bay.
Solitude means that everything is a short drive away. Wine lovers have more than 50 wineries within a 5-mile radius of Sebastopol, and more than 200 wineries within Sonoma County's twelve wine appellations. There's even heirloom apple-made hard cider nearby at the Tilted Shed Ciderworks.

Her regular clientele include guests at the areas luxury resorts and spas. Pending availability, Meg can be booked for in-suite massage therapy sessions upon request.

Once every two or three years, two full moons will occur in a month. This phenomenon is known as a blue moon. Used colloquially it means - a rare event, as in the phrase "once in a blue moon". We've created the Blue Moon Suite to be a place of rare beauty and peace surrounded by the incredible nature of Western Sonoma County.
We look forward to meeting you. Bob, Teresa (& Moka)

This is a gated private country estate. There is a 5 acre minimum in the area, so neighbors are basically not visible due to forest and foliage, but the hillside location provides scenic views and beautiful night skies that are unobstructed by city light
The terrain is hilly, property is 3.8 miles from thr center of Sebastopol, .8 mile of that down an old paved but bumpy road. It is normally a 7 minute drive to downtown.

Bob & Teresa were very detailed and forthcoming with coordinating our visit to the Blue Moon Suite nestled on a backroad in Sonoma County. The location was so peaceful, the room was comfortable and cleverly designed, with all the amenities we could possibly need. The dog Moka was a sweetheart and a half! It was a great home base for exploring wine country, redwood forests, fine dining, and the Russian River.

Sherri2014-05-16T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at the Blue Moon Suite. Teresa was easy to reach, check in was a breeze, and the suite was great! The kitchen had all of the essentials plus coffee, tea, and even some chocolates and the king-sized bed/linens were ultra cozy. We slept so well! Moka, the "canine greeter" was sweet, too. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in town.

Christine2017-07-04T00:00:00Z

We loved this little studio! Teresa was very good with her directions and other communication, and the studio is adorable. I loved the blue moon theme and the bed was super comfy. It was wonderful being out in the country, but not far from other things. We didn't see anyone else during our short stay, which was perfect since we were looking for a private getaway experience.

Julie2014-08-08T00:00:00Z

I had a great stay at the Blue Moon Studio, which was just as described in the listing, if not nicer. The level of cleanliness of the grounds and studio's interior was remarkable. Bob and Teresa were charming hosts, who went out of their way to make sure that I had necessary local information (live music venues and dog-friendly parks) to make my stay pleasant and fun. I wouldn't hesitate to book the studio again for a return to Sebastopol.

Jesse2014-08-01T00:00:00Z

This was a very comfortable, well-decorated suite with an incredibly responsive host. Teresa was very accommodating with our requests and had many suggestions of places to travel in the area, rain or shine. It's a nice area for biking around, very close to biking paths that lead you to Forestville or Santa Rosa.

Danielle2014-03-31T00:00:00Z

Bob and Teresa's place is lovely. This was my first time booking through Airbnb and it was a great experience with them! They even accommodated us by having an earlier check-in due to our plans that day. They were very good at communications to ensure we found the place and that we were able to get in through the security gate. There is a fence around the entire property, so you are able to let your dog run free. Also, there are two very friendly dogs on the property as well. Our dog and their two dogs got along great! And, it is extremely quiet to sleep there. Thank you Bob and Teresa for a wonderful stay!

Debra2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Bob & Teresa's place is lovely as are the hosts themselves. Quiet and relaxing, equipped with any and everything you might need. Don't hesitate to book this lovely cottage.

Jennifer2017-03-13T00:00:00Z

Thank you Bob and Teresa for a wonderful weekend away with my husband. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, people were kind and the dogs adorable. We feel so refreshed after spending a couple of relaxing days at your studio in Sebastopol. Thank you!

Our West Sonoma County home is located on three, fenced acres a mile outside the town of Sebastopol, close to the Joe Rodota Bike Trail, and Russian River Valley wineries.

This is the perfect apartment for visiting the Sebastopol area! It is a 5 min drive into downtown Sebastopol, 8 min to Graton. We rented bikes and rode up to Forestville - the bike path is very nearby the house and mostly flat. Tons of wineries and very yummy restaurants. The photos do not do the apartment justice. It is immaculately clean and the perfect space for a couple. I would certainly stay here again.

Tara2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

We decided there just can't be a better Airbnb for two in Sonoma County than this one. It's perfectly situated and close to everything, but far enough away for quiet, starry nights deep in wine country. The large studio is brand new and sits behind private gates, down a country lane and connected to a sprawling and absolutely beautiful estate. It's instantly comfortable with lots of designer touches, a great kitchen, super sweet bed, couches, adirondack chairs outside, and much more than the photos imply. Bonus: the hosts are welcoming, friendly locals who know the area well and aim to please. Note: it was really difficult not to dog-nap their family Springer Spaniel (Toby) who is probably the sweetest little nugget you'll ever meet. Stay here if it's available.

Roy and Johnna2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Loved my stay at Catherine's home! My boyfriend and I drove up from Berkeley for the annual Gravenstein Apple Fair which was a 6min bike ride from the house. The self check in was super easy! The unit is very high-end with beautiful furnishings and all the appliances you could possibly need. Oh and the cleanliness! Whomever cleans this unit sure has an amazing eye for detail. The pups took a while to warm up to us but once they received approval to love on us from their parents, they were the sweetest! It was a quiet and truly rejuvenating weekend. The wifi and phone reception were spotty. We didn't mind but I wouldn't recommend this spot for a business stay. Very close to downtown, although we opted to drive instead of bike.

Brooke2017-08-14T00:00:00Z

Even better than in the pictures.

Dara2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

This bright, remodeled studio has vaulted ceilings, skylight & laminate flooring. Large, private, sunny patio is for you to BBQ or simply relax. Full kitchen with gas stove, new refrigerator and all the kitchen essentials. Tile shower, no bathtub.

The studio is in a quiet, private setting down a private lane. There are surrounding orchards and vineyards cascading over rolling hills. Natural light abounds inside with vaulted ceilings and a skylight.
There is a large, walk in closet and a new dresser for your use. The space is perfectly equipped for the extended stay traveler.
Your arrival 'basket' includes some fresh, free range eggs from the chickens (at times the hens lay fewer eggs but I provide organic store eggs). There will also be some coffee, tea and creamer to help get you started in the morning.

Some of the greatest qualities of the neighborhood are the views, the quiet setting, and we are in a fabulous microclimate!
Sebastopol boasts some amazing eateries, including a wonderful brewery restaurant with a heated patio/ beer garden. There is a new shopping area called the Barlow with restaurants, shops, and cafes. The Barlow has a street fair with food, live music and artists every Thursday in the summer months. I If you love the out doors, there are amazing back roads perfect for the road bicycling enthusiast as well as a 1000 acre park 5 minutes from the studio. Redwoods are nearby as well as hiking and kayaking locations. Northern California's dramatic and breathtaking coastline is only 25 minutes away.

Completely agree with all the previous reviews. Very cozy apartment; Stephanie was a great host. We stayed for two nights for a wedding weekend in Sebastopol. The roads around the studio are winding and the views are great!

Mariel2015-10-04T00:00:00Z

A great studio in the middle of wine country! The place was very clean to sleep 3-4 comfortably. Stephanie made herself very available to any issues that might come up (we did not have any).

Nick2015-09-05T00:00:00Z

My stay at Stephanie's was delightful! I stayed for 3 weeks, and loved every minute of it. The place is very stylishly decorated and every detail has been thought through. The kitchen was very well equipped, with a number of staple food items as well so I could actually cook real meals. I loved having a private yard with a BBQ as well as the lovely Adirondack chairs outside in the shared space to look at the gorgeous view of the vineyards. Stephanie is a lovely, thoughtful and kind person who really made me feel at home. There are really sweet touches around the house too that warmed my heart, like a small heart hanging in the closet, and a statue of Jizo, protector of travelers. I would definitely come back here!

Karen2015-03-19T00:00:00Z

Stephanie provided a great welcome complete with suggestions of fun activities in and around Sebastopol, fresh eggs from her chickens, and a bottle of wine that all made for an amazing stay. Her studio apartment is a beautiful spot for a romantic getaway. It's convenient to Sebastopol and equipped with a full kitchen.

Alan2015-02-15T00:00:00Z

Beautiful slice of country live staying in a very comfortable private space.

Philip2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Stephanies guest home is roomy and comfortable with all the amenities, a super comfortable bed and couch, lighting and natural lighting is super...we didn't want for anything... It is the perfect tucked away oasis for those looing to relax for their entire stay or have a nice quiet place to come home to at the end of the day...the drive through the country and the views are beautiful... I would highly recommend this guest house and Stephanie is as available as you need her...

Greg2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Great spot, as advertised! Just far enough from town to be quiet and get an eyeful of stars at night. Cool breezes. Quick drive into town, easy drive to the coast, nothing is that far -- and friendly low-key wineries are everywhere you turn. The place is comfy and homey. The private patio rocks. Stephanie leaves all the info you need so you don't need her once you're there, but she's very responsive if you do. We'd return in a heartbeat.

Dan2015-08-09T00:00:00Z

We immediately felt welcome. There was a bottle of local wine and fresh eggs waiting for us. The cottage was spacious and comfortable. The view of the vineyard across the street was beautiful. Our kids were thrilled to play with the 2 cats and observe the chickens on the property. Stephanie was a great host, friendly and available. The location is great also. Very quiet and secluded but just a 5 minute drive into town and about 30 minutes from a lot of great tourist spots like Armstrong Woods and the Charles Schulz Museum. It's a wonderful place to stay and Stephanie is a great host, we would definitely recommend it...

Our studio is perfect for a weekend getaway for one or two people. The studio has a small deck over looking a creek with Redwoods/Maple Trees towering overhead.
Take a leasure walk from our studio out Odd Fellows rd. which is approximately.75 miles to the beach.
The studio is down the rd. from a popular Bed & Breakfast Inn.

For a quiet weekend or a writers retreat, our space offers quick access to outdoor fun. Rent a kayak or canoe for the day and cruise down the Russian River.
We have a queen size bed and couch in the small studio. The unit is perfect for one or two guests.
You will find a small grill and chairs on the deck.

We're located on the opposite end of the road from the Historical Santa Nella Bed & Breakfast Inn. Drive two miles and you will arrive in Downtown Guerneville.
Great Places To Visit
Boone Eat + Drink, and Pat's (classic breakfast diner) that turns into a pop up Korean restaurant at night are both excellent
Drive out to the Pacific Ocean and stop off in the small town of Duncan Mills on your way. Lot of quaint shops and Cape Fear Cafe has a great breakfast menu. Hangtown Fry is our favorite (pan fried oysters w/ eggs, potatoes, toast). Sooo good!!
Jump back on Hwy 116 and head west to Cafe Aquatica, well worth the trip for the solo/drip brews and the breath taking views of where the Russian River and Ocean meet. About 15-20 minutes past Guerneville.
Great Coffee Shop in downtown Guerneville, Coffee Bazar on Armstrong Woods Rd. Drive a few miles and you will arrive at Scenic Armstrong Woods State Park. Park your car and walk into the park.

My stay at Ocean and Mimi's Russian River Studio was exactly what I was looking for. Quiet and off the beaten path, it was a great base for exploring wineries, food, and nature. My hosts provided great directions for arriving to the location and also helped out with some really awesome dining/coffee suggestions. The studio apartment was cute, cozy, and clean with everything you need for a stay including coffee maker (with coffee!), cooking area, sink, dishes/pots/pans. Internet connectivity was decent and satisfied our needs. The area is rustic and charming, but that's what you're going for if you are choosing Russian River valley over Napa Valley :) I definitely prefer it that way! I wouldn't hesitate to book another getaway at this adorable property!

Joshua2014-08-04T00:00:00Z

This was my first booking on AirBnB and it was awesome. The place made me feel very cozy and home-ly. (Couch and bed were both very comfy!) Also Mimi and Ocean were very great hosts. They always made sure to respond promptly to any needs I had.

Pamela2015-02-17T00:00:00Z

There was light jazz playing on the tv when we entered the space and flowers on the table with a bottle of wine. So wonderfully cozy and welcome! It was perfect for our weekend getaway.

Aaron2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

The hosts were prompt, helpful, and welcoming. The area around the property was lovely, 5 minutes away from Guerneville by car. We ran into some maintenance issues though. Central heat was not working, and the area heaters we were told to use (later after a few emails and phone calls) blew the fuse. Also the toilet did not flush completely. Minus those issues we had a great time.

Josh2015-04-14T00:00:00Z

Quiet, forested surrounding just steps away from a creek, and a 5 minute drive to the downtown shops and restaurants. Cozy space, with a comfortable bed. Our host provided detailed directions, making check-in and finding the place super easy. We had total privacy during our stay, and overall could not have been more pleased with this space. Thanks Ocean!

Tiffany2017-04-24T00:00:00Z

Ocean and Mimi's studio was the perfect home base for a weekend adventure in Sonoma County. It's a quick hop from Guerneville and Johnson Beach, and just as easy to get just about anywhere else in the region. The studio itself is comfy and adorably decorated; it's a fine place to catch your breath or just sit outside and listen to chirps of nature. We would definitely go back.

Eco-Farm stay with private hot tub. Gator ATV tour and farm breakfast. Enjoy pastoral views of redwoods, duck pond, gardens and pastures at the Pocket Creek Farm. Located in Russian River resort area, near wine country and coast.

[County Required Info:-quiet hrs=10pm-7am-max guests=4-max vehicle=1 Airbnb does collect the 12% hotel tax up front as part of your bill.
We are located in the heart of the Sonoma County, 15 miles from the coast. Our guest house sits on a 25 acre organic farm : pastures, creeks, gardens, redwood forest and a large duck pond with fish. The guest house is above a large farm kitchen. The apartment has a master bedroom (firm queen), full bathroom, kitchen, living room with a small sofa couch (firm double). The apartment has a private 4 seat Jacuzzi in the redwoods.

We are lucky to be in the heart of Sonoma and the resort area... 1/4 mile from the Russian River, 6 miles from Armstrong woods, the Bodega Coast and Jenner as well as Healdsburg, Sebastapol and Santa Rosa. Vineyards, tasting rooms and Farm to Table Restaurants are close by. It is an ideal location to enjoy all that Sonoma has to offer.

This place is a treasure and, for us, a last-minute surprise discovery that was nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Steve and Pam for scrambling to accommodate us so gracefully despite our *very last-minute moment of inspiration. Frankly we went in simply looking for a last-minute place to stay, not a mini-immersion into permaculture farming -- but came away completely charmed by it all: the idyllic location, the low-key but charming hosts (the 'welcome beer'!), the rustic farmhouse abode, the hot tub secluded amongst redwood trees (it was raining -- who cares!), Pam's delicious multi-course breakfast (that amazing duck egg scramble! that delectable home-made bacon! and the only kombucha I've ever liked!), Steve's fascinating farm tour replete with cogent observations and nuanced information (this guy knows his stuff), and oh yeah those ridiculous emus. In the very short time we spent at the farm we developed such an appreciation for both people and place -- and most of all for a life built on careful, joy-filled choices prioritizing sustainability and this earth in a culture which honors neither. Thank you, Pam and Steve, for thinking of everything and accommodating our every need, for providing the perfect place to extend a truly magical birthday-weekend getaway -- and for leading by example. We'll be back! We're bringing (all!) our kids next time. You are forewarned. ;-) -- Nicole and Matthew

Nicole2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Privacy shade and a hot tub in the redwoods in the back; sun and comfortable socializing area in the front to visit and sample delicacies. Beautiful apartment. Solid. Comfortable. Clean. Big. Nice bed. Really sweet place. We highly recommend you take the tour and spend time learning the farm: we are now thinking about converting our outdoor space to permaculture. Everything about the facilities and Steve and Pamela is top shelf.

joseph2017-04-28T00:00:00Z

What a charming permaculture farm stay! We had a really lovely weekend at "Pocket Creek Farm." It is really an interesting hybrid bed&breakfast stay mixed with experiential education (breakfast & tour) about permaculture farming. Steve is really knowledgable and passionate about what they are doing there and it was great to be exposed to that. We were a little disappointed that the the trails in the wooded areas were not practically hikable as we had children with us and they paths weren't very wide, but we (and the kids) had a great time exploring the farm and all the animals. The kids *loved* the emus! Thanks Pam and Steve, hope to see you again this summer!

Patrick2017-03-20T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely little cottage with a great little hot tub under the redwoods. Would be especially good for people with an interest in sustainable farming practices. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Nicole2016-03-04T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful eco farm they have. And what wonderful people running it. Both Steve and Pam are pleasures to be around. They take you on a tour, cook you breakfast, will always be available to chat and socialize, yet at the same time respect the guest by giving them space to enjoy their vacation. Not to mention the very nice apartment house you stay in with a Jacuzzi and gazebo. We highly recommend this for anyone looking for some time away from the city and wanting fresh air with holesome people and food.

Bryan2016-03-03T00:00:00Z

Lovely people, amazing farm! A must for relaxation.

Terri2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

Beautiful, spacious, and relaxing. The accommodations are cozy and clean, with a huge kitchen and very comfortable bed. And then there's the private jacuzzi in the redwoods. My boyfriend and I had the most amazing experience staying with Pam and Steve. Words do not do them or their property justice. Just go. :)

Jaqueline2017-02-15T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful place and what lovely hosts! We learned so much from our visit to your farm. We would love to come back again for a longer stay to enjoy your place and the rest of the beauty of the region.

It was a very pleasant place to stay. It's on the bottom floor of a house so you don't get a ton of sunlight in the place itself, but the backyard looks out onto the river and it's very quiet. Great place to relax. It's walking distance from the main part of Monte Rio and the beach. The beach is dog friendly and there is a great breakfast place with a dog run attached. In general a very dog friendly location. The place was clean and the kitchen was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Damian2015-04-19T00:00:00Z

This was a nice, cozy place on the river just north of Monte Rio beach. We enjoyed BBQing here. Quiet neighborhood with lots of other vacationers.

Samantha2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

The owner was around for part of the weekend, and lives in the unit upstairs - they were nice and accommodating. The house also comes with 2 kayaks and has a great dock for river access. Dog friendly and kid friendly - we had a great stay.

Taylor2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

Beautiful place. The pictures do not do it justice! Very cute. The beds and the linens we luxurious and the gas stove in the living room cozy. Kitchen is very functional and stocked with most basics, despite the lack of counter space (we used the table for extra). The week we went was very cold and while the living room was cozy, the second bedroom, kitchen and bathroom were cold. The provided down comforters and extra heaters were much appreciated! Bring your slippers! Very convenient location. We went to Guerneville, Sebastapool, Armstrong Redwoods, Duncan Mills and traveled home down the coast. Bucolic rolling hills and gorgeous coast!

Tara2014-10-12T00:00:00Z

Ursula's place in Guernville was fantastic. It was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, Charming and not right in the center of town. We loved chatting with her and exploring her gorgeous garden. If the river was a little higher we would have kayaked as the place is right on the river. We would recommend this place to anyone.

Nick2012-10-29T00:00:00Z

We had a great time staying at Ursula's studio. Right on the river, we explored Guerneville, the Redwoods, and even went out to Bodega Bay and Jenner thanks to Ursula's suggestion. Lots and lots to do and this is a great place to stay.

Bob2014-06-12T00:00:00Z

I went to stay at Ursula's space over the wknd w/ my boyfriend and our little dog, and we had the best time! The room was quaint and overlooked an immaculately keep garden. With the russian river being only 50 feet away, we made use of the canoe that she provided and had a relaxing adventure on the river in the afternoon. The neighborhood was quiet and the town is very close by, offering up delicious and trendy restaurants. Ursula was an excellent host and very helpful by informing us on the "to do's" in Guerneville. Overall, very happy with our stay, and would come back anytime.

Surrounded by redwoods and walking distance to the Russian River, this pet friendly studio is great for getting away. Studio has queen bed, full bathroom, kitchenette. We live above the studio, join us for wine!

Studio is the lower unit of my house, has its own entrance, heater, small deck, bathroom and small kitchenette (hot plate, microwave, dorm fridge and coffee maker)
This is not a fancy cabin in the woods, no wood stove or hot tub and no TV. There is Internet (wifi) books, games and a nice area to walk. The property is walking distance to the river, which is about 1/4 mile away down to the semi-secret beach in Villa Grande.
I have Thursday's blocked off as the day I deep clean the Studio, if you want to book on this date please schedule around it and we can discuss your stay, as long as you do not mind a possible later check in while I clean :-)
2.5 miles west is the Blue Heron, a great bar/tavern with live music most nights. 1.5 miles to the east is Lucy's Lounge which is a great spot to get breakfast and watch just about any sporting event. Further down 116 is Northwood Golf Course, a wonderful 9 hole course architected by Alister MacKenzie.
We live above the studio, we try to be quiet and if you do hear us I hope that you will come up, say hi and join us for a glass of wine or please let us know to turn it down!

I love walking around my neighborhood. Winding, one lane roads that follow the hills and curves of the land. It is wonderful to see all the redwoods, and there is a fire trail above my house that goes all the way to Occidental (very long hike)
For cycling this area is amazing. Easy to ride out to the coast and into Coleman Valley, and back home through Occidental. Another ride nearby that is a great challenge is Kings Ridge and Meyer Grade, which is a wonderful 55 mile loop with over 6k of climbing. Doing any of these rides and then grabbing a Pliny the Elder at the Blue Heron afterwards is a great way to enjoy the weekend in the redwoods.

Kris made us feel welcome in her delightful and cozy rental which is the perfect size for a couple. It is tastefully decorated and has all of the amenities one might need while relaxing at the river. We especially liked the bench in the corner where we could both fit our luggage and spread out our stuff. The bed was comfortable too. The rental is on a pretty quiet street nestled in the redwoods.

Joy2015-07-19T00:00:00Z

We were graciously welcomed with open arms and along to bring our dog! A great quiet community!

Stetson2015-08-23T00:00:00Z

A soon as we opened the door to this beautiful studio we already wanted to come back. Two nights was not enough, next time we want 4 at least! The neighborhood is chalk full of beautiful redwoods and steep hills that make for a great workout while you breath this amazingly-scented fresh air. Kris was very friendly, helpful, attentive, and generous; the consummate host who really goes above and beyond! In our short 2-night stay we were not able to drink all the great beer and wine she provided us. We would have loved to hang out with her if we had time. Kris also had great recommendations for things to do in the area, e.g. that we go to the Restaurant Russian House #1, a fascinating place that just needs to be experienced. Kris knows a lot of people in the area so there was a very nice "tell 'em Kris sent ya" element to our stay. This area is also a 15 minute drive to the breath-taking Sonoma coast, where we hung out & plan to go hiking on our next visit. Oh and I must sing the praises of Minou, Kris's adorable, friendly, and playful cat! Minou was fun and significantly contributed to our wonderful stay. We visit California a couple of times a year and Kris's place will be at the top of our list to get to whenever possible!

Jolie2015-08-20T00:00:00Z

This place is beautiful, and a really good deal! We went for a quick 2 day getaway and while it rained the entire time it was still a great trip. We never actually met Kris, but all the details were coordinated and she was very responsive. We did get to meet her partner Tom and have a couple glass of Pliny the Elder at his place The Blue Heron. It is a trek to get there (not ideal in the rain w/ our Prius) but well worth it! We were a bit concerned about spiders given their mention in house details but we spotted none. The place is cute and very clean!

Kirsten2016-10-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay was very lovely. The apartment was more than we expected. Very new furnishings and there were so many homely touches.

sara2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

What a great getaway! Room was perfect. Minou the cat was so friendly and so was Kris! Had all the amenities, couldn't ask for more =)

Katie2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

Kris has a very inviting space nestled in the redwoods. We enjoyed our stay there and were surprised by all the little extra touches, beer and wine in the fridge and goodies to munch on. We recommend a stay if you are in the area. We arrived in the evening after a long day of driving and had some difficulty finding the house in the dark. Thankfully Kris was home to guide us to her door! Thanks Kris!

John2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

We keep it really short: Our stay in Kris´studio was AWESOME and PERFECT! It was the best airbnb experience we ever had and Kris was the best airbnb host we ever met! Thanks!

We call our second-story studio apartment the Magic Treehouse because it is up in the trees that enhance the view and provide a magical ambience. The high ceilings add an openness that is very relaxing. It is within walking distance from downtown Sebastopol and close to many other fun and beautiful places. Come check it out!

The magic tree house is exactly that; magic. Beautifully built and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need to feel at home. Thank you so much for a great weekend!

Jo Ann2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Delora's place was great little place in a quiet area. Walking distance to downtown and The Barlow. Delora was very nice and accommodating. She was always available if we had questions. She greeted us upon arrival and showed us everything we needed to know about the place. We accidentally left some clothes and Delora sent them to us right away. We'd love to stay here again.

Delora was a great host! She was very flexible with the check-in and check-out time, which made the trip a lot less stressful considering it was Thanksgiving weekend and there was traffic everywhere. She also lives right next door, so it was easy to contact her. The Magic Treehouse was definitely one of the best Airbnb place I stayed at thus far. The layout of it is very modern with a cute little reading area near the kitchen. The kitchen came fully equipped with multiple pots/pans and utensils, so it's perfect for those who like to cook a bit. The place is quite spacious and secluded, which makes for a great weekend get-away. Definitely recommend staying here.

Vicki2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at The Magic Treehouse! It is located within walking distance of the center of town and convenient to wineries/coast/Armstrong Woods. The Magic Treehouse was clean and had all amenities we needed, and more! Delora was a great host who was there if needed any assistance, but not in our way. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend to family and friends!

We had a really lovely stay at Delora's Treehouse this past weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday. Delora has thought of everything to make your stay so comfortable- the fridge was stocked with farm fresh eggs, milk, orange juice, fruit and snacks! The bed was comfortable, as well as the linens and towels. And in the hot Sebastapol summer, we enjoyed the comfort of a quiet AC! The Treehouse has two decks where we ate our breakfast and watched the chickens run around below each morning. It is also within walking distance to a fun town center full of shops, breweries, and restaurants. We chose this location due to its proximity to the many places we wanted to explore on our trip, all within 45 minutes- Calistoga, Napa and Petaluma. I cannot recommend this place more!

Amanda2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

Delora was the Best. Refrigerator was stocked with necessities. Bath had everything you needed. It was just a very pleasant experience. Great for one or two adults. A short walk to the downtown area. Yet still has that country feel & atmosphere. Will be staying there again. Thank you Delora.

Our studio has the perfect Sebastopol location, on a quiet street near the Laguna de Santa Rosa wetlands, but only one block from the Barlow and the downtown plaza. The studio is private, quiet and cozy. There is a mini-fridge and microwave, coffee/tea station, large-screen TV, internet, sitting area with couch, and a rustic outdoor (private) shower.

We LOVED staying in this gorgeous little studio in the heart of Sebastopol. Paloma and her family were so gracious and kind, the place was clean and comfortable and the location perfect! It rained for the first half of our stay so enjoyed staying dry and cosy with a huge smart TV with thousands of choices to watch. Paloma was kind enough to run the hot tub outside which was a delight to warm ourselves on a cold eve. Although located at the back of a house, the studio was very quiet and private. I'm an avid Air BNB traveller and this was one of my favourites to date. Thank you!

Wayan2016-11-04T00:00:00Z

I greatly enjoyed my time here! It's cozy, welcoming, and walkable to everything in downtown Sebastopol. Paloma was a very gracious hostess, and clearly had prepared the space very thoughtfully for guests. Don't be put off by the outdoor shower - it's very private, and entered via a door off the bathroom - you barely feel like you're outside at all!

Madeleine2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

My fiancé and I stayed at Paloma's studio over Labor Day, and had a wonderful stay. Her place is exactly as described and was perfect for walking around Sebastopol. Would definitely stay here again, thanks Paloma!

Tracy2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Aside from being modern and super clean, you just can't get much closer to all the action in Sebastopol. We walked to everything! We went on two lovely bike rides and a beautiful hike close by. Paloma his a wonderful, friendly host.

Barry2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Paloma's place is in a really lovely part of town. So close to the Barlow and a bunch of other wonderful shops. She's very available but definitely gives you your privacy. The place is adorable.

Brad2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Paloma greeted us upon on our arrival. The location was great. It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants, breweries, and the farmers market. The neighborhood was very quiet.

Adriene2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 134 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Paloma was a warm and welcoming host, providing many local suggestions for food, drink, and outings. The cottage was just perfect, and pictures do not do it justice! The cottage is a beautiful free standing unit surrounded by greenery. It has tall ceilings, is open and bright, clean, and cozy.

Great place for a couple or an individual to stay for a weekend close to the river! Cute place, very clean, nice to have a small kitchen area to keep snacks and eat in if you wanted to. No AC that we saw, but with windows open and a fan, we were perfectly fine. Would definitely stay again!

Marvin and Vanessa were really warm and welcoming, making it really easy to check-in and make sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. They were such great hosts, and even went out of their way to help us when got stranded in the area, from a dead car battery. The neighbourhood is great - it's tucked away in a quiet area but a very quick drive to downtown and the grocery stores, liquor stores, etc.

Derek2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

The cabin was very cozy. We had a relaxing time. Marvin and Vanessa were very welcoming hosts. Once we arrived, they greeted us and were very kind. The home was perfect for three adult males wanting a relaxing weekend, near the river. Marvin was kind enough to lend his bikes to us and Vanessa gave us a great recommendation on dinner You would be hard pressed to find a better place in the area. Thank you both for the lovely place

Jay2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Marvin and Vanessa were easy to contact and greeted us in the drive when we arrived to make sure that we knew where to park. Cute little cottage was exactly what we needed as a quick get away from the fast pace of Silicon Valley. New and clean, this cottage is perfect for an escape in the area!

What a wonderful place! Ana and Peter's guest house has everything a guest needs and they are such wonderful hosts! Great communication before and during our stay, and every detail was thought of. The guest house is clean, charming, comfortable, peaceful and totally private, and the surroundings so beautiful. Having the hot tub just outside the door made it so easy to just hop in any time, so we used it quite a bit. Having the use of the pool is a huge plus, and Ana and Peter made us feel completely welcome to all of the grounds. There's a wonderful market nearby and additional grocery shopping in the next town. We went canoeing down the Russian River, and the facility is just down the road from the home. There's a nice restaurant nearby as well. We are so happy we found Pete's Retreat, everything was perfect with our stay! Thank you Peter and Ana!

Pictures don't do Pete's Retreat justice. The space is so adorable. Ana and Peter are great hosts who have filled their guest house with thoughtful details - we felt very taken care of despite the fact we never actually met them. The kitchenette had everything we could need for our trip (to include a much appreciated water filter), the wifi was strong, and relaxing in the hot tub after a day of wine tasting was just heaven. As mentioned in the listing, this retreat is a little off the beaten path but we had no problem getting Ubers during our stay. Forestville was also a convenient homebase for many wineries and great restaurants. We would absolutely love to come back!

Pete's retreat was a wonderful little treat! Hosts provided detailed and accurate directions to the home which was much appreciated for our midnight arrival. Cute guest house with all necessary amentities!

Narek2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing time. The guest house was as described and in amazing shape. Hot tub worked very well! We'd definitely love to stay here again.

David2014-07-13T00:00:00Z

Fantastic experience! I love this place and will be sure to come back and recommend to others. Very private and quiet. Close to many wineries.

My husband and I had a nice weekend at Ana and Peter's. The guest house is nicely decorated and cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub and playing board games in the upstairs, as well as sitting by the pool. The location is also quite convenient, as the home is only 20 minutes to nearly everywhere: Healdsburg, Sebastopol, Freestone (amazing bakery there), Santa Rosa... We would definitely recommend this to others and would love to come back and stay again.

A perfect getaway from the city. The hot tub is ideal for unwinding, as is the grill to cookout under the Sonoma stars. Inside, the world map makes the space--it's one of the more unique spots I've seen. The spiral staircase to a living room type nook is also incredible. Highly recommended! Can't wait to come back : )

Our Redwood Studio apartment is within easy walking distance to Guerneville's charming shops and great restaurants. You’ll love the the serenity of the trees, sounds of the chickens, and the quiet friendly neighborhood. It sits at the base of an old growth Redwood tree. There is no stove in the small kitchenette, it has microwave, toaster oven, french press, kettle. Attached to our home, the Studio apartment has a private entrance and deck. Armstrong Redwoods 2 miles Sonoma Coast 10 mile

We found this beautiful place in 1985 and have lived here ever since. Located just a few blocks from Main Street but on a hill above town, the property has ancient redwoods and the Redwood Studio apartment is a the base of our biggest and oldest tree, probably more than 500 years old. Although easy walking down to town it feels like a world away. Our large rambling house was built around 1890. The Studio was a separate apartment that we have recently renovated. We have really enjoyed sharing our space with visitors to the area.

Our charming, friendly neighborhood has an old cemetery at the top of the hill. Guerneville is an interesting old town full of galleries and shops. My favorite is the Guerneville 5 & 10. Excellent restaurants such as Boon and Seaside Metal. The treasured but long closed Bank building has been beautifully renovated and now houses an ice cream and pie shop and wine tasting room. You can walk to the river for fishing and in the summer for a swim. Two miles from the Studio is Armstrong Redwoods with gentle strolls or challenging hikes. The Russian River Valley holds many wineries for touring and the Sonoma Coast is just a beautiful drive along the river to the ocean.

Great studio in a quiet neighborhood close to Main St. We would not hesitate to stay again for a couple of nights when in the area for hiking or wine tasting or general sightseeing.

This little, cosy cottage is delightful. It sits at the base of an ancient and huge Sequoia, as if being cuddled and protected by the wise old redwood tree. The space is clean and quiet, well situated on a hill close to but removed from the centre of town. Guerneville itself is a lovely and picturesque little village, and the magnificent Armstrong Woods, which to us was even more impressive than Muir Woods, is just a few minutes up the road.

Doron2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

Kathleen was a terrific host who made us feel right at home. The studio was clean, comfortable and cozy and had everything we needed. It was very private and a short 5 minute walk to all of the town's eateries and attractions. She even went so far as to prepare a well organized binder full of pertinent info on the area including restaurant menus, a history of the region and even listed her favorite hikes. This was our first Airbnb bookingand we could not have asked for a better host and experience. We hope to stay here again soon!

Todd2016-07-14T00:00:00Z

The Redwood Cabin is a great little place in a peaceful neighborhood on a hill above town. It's quite comfortable and very nicely appointed for two people. My partner and I were in Guerneville for the annual Lazy Bear weekend (six days actually) and the quiet location was exactly what we needed at the end of our long, fun filled days. We enjoyed having breakfast on the little deck under the ancient redwood tree, and each morning a squirrel would come down from another tree nearby and be off to to do it's squirrely thing! Checking in was easy and Kathleen gave a quick tour of the cabin and it's features. She has thoughtfully compiled local restaurant and activity recommendations in "the red binder" which is a great resource for new visitors to the Russian River area. Kathleen and Ed are terrific, respectful hosts and my partner and I hope to enjoy another stay at the Redwood Cabin again in the future.

James2017-08-07T00:00:00Z

Kathleen and her husband are great people! Very hospitable and warm. Kathleen met us at her front door and showed us where we would be staying. The studio is very spacious and clean. The kitchen has all you will need for basic meals and food storage. The bathroom is large and very roomy. It's tucked back into a nice quiet neighborhood that is just a couple minutes from town. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants the perfect quiet getaway!

Steven2016-10-11T00:00:00Z

Awesome place. Host was super friendly and welcoming. Would stay there again.

Andrea2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Great location

Samuel2017-03-30T00:00:00Z

We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary and could not have been more pleased with this cozy and charming cottage! A very relaxing tranquil property helped set the mood for our weekend stay. Kathleen was extremely helpful and accommodating as she walked us through her binder full of information on the town and surrounding area upon our arrival. Take her advice on restaurants! We did not have one bad meal. All in all a very enjoyable experience and we'd love to come back for another romantic getaway. Thank you Kathleen and Ed

Self contained cozy studio unit nestled under towering Giant Redwood and Fir trees, the Sonoma coast is 20 minutes to the west and world class wineries and microbreweries start 5 minutes to the east. Enjoy the Redwood deck, bbq fireplace, and hot tub.

The view of the tall trees going hundreds of feet into the air is the most unique feature of the property. The door from the cozy 288 square foot guesthouse opens to the large redwood deck, with softub hottub, bbq, fireplace, lounge chair, dining table with chairs, and café table. The guesthouse has a very comfortable queen size bed, a full tiled bathroom with jetted oversize bathtub, a full kitchenette, a TV with dvd player and Netflix access (no cable), fast wifi, and a desk with leather office chair. There is a ipod dock and clock radio/alarm and a Bluetooth mini speaker system you can bring out on the deck for music.
We typically require a two night minimum, but you may ask for one night. We might increase the price for a one night stay or not be able to accommodate, but we can if we will.
The guesthouse is so comfortable for sleeping and that our guests often find themselves sleeping in till 11am...wondering what happened as they "always" get up early. Set an alarm if you need to get up.
The guesthouse is also an occasional mini-micro brewery. I have an all grain brewing setup and brew 5 gallon batches of hoppy ales right in the kitchenette. For guests visiting the Sonoma County breweries, there are several ale growlers in the room you can borrow.
This property has many nice features, but also has a few things about it that some people may not like, so we want to tell you about them.
1)Our staircase up to the guesthouse has 55 stairs, and walking up the stairs you will have to 2)pass an old cabin. Once at the top of the stairs and at the guesthouse...all you can see are the trees...without the old cabin getting in the way. If you can't do stairs...you would probably be more comfortable somewhere else.
3)The hot tub was new to us and fully refurbished in January 2014. In order to keep it and our bbq and table area free from leaves, cones and sap, we have put up a large tarp that acts as a roof. If you can't stand the idea of having a tarp covering half the deck... you may want to stay somewhere else.
4)Hwy 116 is a rural highway at the bottom of the stairs...you can hear road noise from the deck. Its far enough away that it shouldn't bother you unless you are very sensitive, but wanted to disclose the possible sounds. The room is well insulated with good windows...you may hear the occasional heavy truck roll by but traffic is not audible inside.
Unit has not quite a full kitchen...its a full kitchenette. small fridge, small oster toaster convection oven that boasts you theoretically can roast a full chicken, full microwave, 2 burner hotplate, and hot water jug. simple cookware allows you to make eggs, spaghetti, toasted sandwiches, put together salads, reheat leftovers, etc.... its not really setup for making a 5 course meal but you can do most things you need to do in the kitchen. If you need a utensil or pan that is not there...you can borrow from us upstairs.

The Guerneville area has been a recreational hot spot for the San Francisco Bay area for decades. Kayaking and river recreation are a main summer activity, biking and hiking year round. A Hate Free community, all types of people are free to relax and enjoy themselves here. Armstrong Redwoods is a favorite destination in town. The Garden Grille is within walking distance (2 minute drive) and is hands down the best food in town. The Rivers End in Jenner is the best place to go watch the sunset and make excellent food and cocktails.

We've stayed in several places in Guerneville and it doesn't get better than this! This is what air bnb is all about -- cheaper than a hotel, but much nicer, with all the comforts of home. Great extra perks like a lovely hot tub, the use of fold up beach chairs for the river/pool parties, excellent wifi, cozy and quiet, and a hop-skip-and-a-jump from downtown. Extremely clear directions. Hosts were friendly but gave us privacy. Quality furnishing, warm/artsy decor, practical, and functional space. Kitchenette was great for making eggs and toast in the mornings. We hope to stay here again!

Benjamin and Joe2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Jason and Kim were very friendly hosts. We had questions about tubing down the Russian River and Jason had great information for us to help figure out a plan. Their studio apartment was located close to town. If the night was a little warmer, we'd have walked, rather then driven, into town for dinner. Their place was very clean and well stocked with anything that we might have needed.

megan2015-08-23T00:00:00Z

Place was well kept and nice, but not as private as we thought it'd be. Room is not the top level, but under the main house (which you can hear) and hot tub is in the main walkway (which seemed a little odd to us).

Kyle2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

The directions that Jason/Kim gave right before our arrival were very helpful! The house was actually easy to find. It was very private and we said hello to Jason but otherwise it kind of felt like our own little apartment all to ourselves which was nice. You really can't hear any noise from the road at all. The apartment was very comfortable and cozy and we had a great time!

Heather2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

This is our second time at Jason and Kim's cabin. Couldn't be happier about the place, location and our hosts' hospitality. We usually don't do the same place twice but Guerneville and the Redwood Guesthouse cast a spell on us. Thank you so much for sharing your home again with us!

Yuliya2015-11-29T00:00:00Z

Jason was wonderful and very helpful. The studio cottage had everything a couple would need, very neat and clean and even though small it works quite well. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the hot tub, built a fire, relaxed on the deck one afternoon, very cozy. Guerneville is like something out of the Twilight Zone but in a good hippie way. We we're blown away from the hospitality, the service, food, entertainment and the vibe. Must do's: El Barrio bar, Seaside Metal Oyster Bar, coffee and breakfast items at Coffee Bazaar

Doug2015-06-07T00:00:00Z

The guesthouse is exactly as described, but the photos don't do justice to how amazing it is to be staying in the redwoods! My husband and I were blown away by the gorgeous deck, complete with hot tub and fire pit, and by how kind and welcoming Jason and Kim were. There was even a bottle of wine and basket of fruit waiting for us when we arrived! The bed was insanely comfortable (it's no joke that you'll sleep in way later than you ever intended), and the wi-fi is lightning fast. Nice big bathroom with great water pressure and plenty of fresh towels. Everything we needed was stocked in the guesthouse, and we were a very short walk (maybe a mile) to downtown Guerneville. Jason and Kim were also a great resource for recommendations on local restaurants, beer, and wine. Highly recommended.

Kate2015-05-17T00:00:00Z

We did not get to meet our hosts, however all accommodations for access and our stay were provided in advance.
